This year in AP art my concentration will be a play on my life. Throughout the year I will create pieces that hit on the different stages in my life. Each piece will show one or more people from my life, and each person will have an animal head instead of a human head. every time I reuse the person in my future pieces I will use the same type of animal for that person in order to create a story throughout the concentration.

Concentration Number One

Planning

Finished Painting

Adding Wax

Carving Out Circles

Finished

This is the start of my concentration and probably one of my favorite pieces I have made. it is of my mom when she was pregnant with me. if I could magically go back in time the only thing that I would change would be the circles in the background. when I started the project I never planned on putting the shapes in the background. since I decided to add them after I applied the wax I had to carve away the wax, paint the circles, and recover in wax. this created a lot of stray pink paint around the circles. these really bug me and I feel that it brought my craftsmanship down. other than that I am very pleased with the outcome.

What Inspires Me?

I have recently discovered the artist, Michael McConnell. His paintings are what inspired the idea I chose for my concentration. My Family plays a big role in most of the pieces I have created as well.
